TABLE 2-1 (INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSFER OF RECORDS) NOTES:
1. Before a transfer of records occurs, the closing command must
accomplish all those administrative actions associated with
recordkeeping; e.g., recording routine entries, making any required
closing entries in the service records. For purposes of this
instruction, service records include the combined OQR or SRB,
health and dental records, out-patient records, to include all SF
600, sick call treatment forms.
2. The detaching commander will determine if a Marine should not
hand-carry the records and may, at the commander's discretion,
forward such records by mail. When service records are
hand-carried by a Marine, place the records in a sealed envelope.
The losing command will endorse the travel orders to show that the
service records are being hand-carried. If orders indicate
that a Marine is hand-carrying service records and they are not in
the Marine's possession when reporting, proceed per the special
instructions contained in paragraph 2006.1.
3. When service records are mailed, the following applies:
a. Forward the service records by mail on the day the Marine
concerned is detached. Additionally, forward a separate copy of
the transfer orders with the service records to the gaining command
no later than the date of detachment. On the date of detachment,
forward a copy of the transfer orders with the service records to
the gaining command. If the service records have not been received
by the new command 7 days after the date of transfer, the joining
command will query the losing command to verify that the service
records were forwarded. If service records are not located within
30 days, refer to paragraph 2006.4.
b. Prepare a combined invoice and receipt (NAVMC 941,
Transmittal of Service Records/Pay Documents), place the original
in the package or envelope, and attach a copy of the Marine's
travel orders. If the receipt is not signed and returned within 2
weeks from the date of mailing, initiate tracer orders.
c. As an exception, if a Marine's records are to be
administered by the Marine Security Guard Battalion, Quantico,
Virginia, mail the records to the following address though the
Marine is stationed elsewhere:
